Hi!
Since a few days, d-u wants to remove "default-mysql-server" (and mariadb-server / mariadb-server-10.3) and put "mariadb-client" on hold.
Is anyone else seeing this?
About a week ago I had it removed without me realizing it. I'm so sorry I only vaguely remember what I had to do. I think I had to downgrade phpmyadmin and then hold it. Then I had to remove mysql and then I was able to reinstall mariadb-server.
phpmyadmin is still on hold
apt-cache policy phpmyadmin
phpmyadmin:
Installed: 4:4.9.5+dfsg1-2
Candidate: 4:4.9.7+dfsg1-1
apt-cache policy mariadb-server
mariadb-server:
Installed: 1:10.5.6-1
Candidate: 1:10.5.6-1
